Parang naging paglalakbay at paghahanap ang karanasan ko hanggang sa natagpuan ko ang jazz. Nanggaling ako sa rock and roll pero sa pagnanais ko na humanap ng "makahulugan" na tugtugin, ako'y naakay patungo sa jazz. Bahagi na rin marahil ng "pagkamaygulang" ko sa musika...

Naiiba ang jazz para sa akin dahil hindi mo halos kailangan na gumamit ng "dirt" effect para lamang maiparamdam mo ang iyong nais ipaalam sa pamamagitan ng musika.  :-)

OT: Tsong, ang palad mo! Grabe, napalampas ko na lagi ang mga pagkakataon na mapanood ang Majam! Hanap ako ng hanap ng video nila sa Youtube olats! Wala! Basyo! Baka naman may kilala kang may video man lang nila kahit kapiraso lang?  :-D Pare, baka matulungan mo naman akong mag-aral ng jazz? Salamat!  :-D

It was the solos that got me. I think it was a piano album, "Jamalca" by Ahmad Jamal.

1986, I was assigned as musical director for our school production of Florante At Laura (I was 2nd year High School). While I was studying the book and the adopted script (done by one of my classmates), I was able to get a rough idea what kind of background music is needed to the scenes. I talked to my classmates if I can rummage their parents' record collection.

In one of my classmates whose parents have nothing BUT classical music and old Christian Music records (I own all of them now), I saw 3 odd lps: a Chubby Checker lp (the one with Let's Twist Again - which is in terrible condition), another bad Engelbert Humperdinck lp and a Glenn Miller compilation. So compelled was I with the Glenn Miller double lp that I borrowed that one together with some Strauss waltzes.

Umuwi ako ng bahay hindi ko pinakinggan agad yung mga classical lps na hiniram ko. I slapped the Glenn Miller lp and I was hooked on big band jazz ever since.

Til now if people ask me what is my favorite jazz sub genre (although now that I loved everything that is real jazz), I would still say big band jazz is my real love.

Mas type ko yung bagong pianista ng Majam, sa totoo lang. Galing!

Ako, si Nikki Cabardo ng Freestyle nag-turn on sa kin sa jazz. Pinarinig niya sa kin mga lumang album ni Benson. Ayun na. All downhill from there.

Ruined my life.

Hirap hirap... walang pera... chicks don't dig jazz... mahal ng drugs....

^^^ :lol: Ok lang yan, sir Aya. Respected ka naman sa Jazz scene eh.

So, mostly pala nag evolve lang din.

  Ako naman enthusiast lang. Bale nasa thrash-metal band ako nung 90's. Nagka interes sa mag aral Blues harmonica three years ago, sa kahahanap ko ng album na blues, Luis Armstrong at Miles Davis ang mga na score ko,kaya nagka interes akong mag shift ng self-study sa saxophone,at nag-collect ng mga album (which happened to be mostly Jazz) pero mahirap matuto pag walang teacher/mentor kaya nag give up ako.

Ngayon nag balik uli ako sa pag d-drums, pero yung idea na improvised music at hindi na kelangang sumipra ng plakado ang naging inspirasyon ko....yun nga lang talaga, becoming a Jazz man is not something a musician can learn, but something to earn; kaya usyoso na lang muna ako dito sa forum :-D



Salamat sa mga nag-share at mag s-share pa!

God Bless!

Had this really old shortwave radio which an uncle brought home from Vietnam when he was stationed there (non-combat personel), and one of the few clear signals that the old radio could pull came from the US Armed Forces radio network.  They had a regular jazz program that played jazz that was hard to find in Manila except in a few places (Jefferson Library, etc).  It also helped that just when the Americans were pulling out of the region, my uncle was also able to accumulate and ship back to Manila a sizable vinyl collection of rock and jazz artists that the civilian and military R&R joints were getting rid of.

Hay!  I sometimes wonder what became of that stash of "musical contraband" as my Mom used to call the rock and heavy jazz stuff na hindi niya masakyan (which was most of my uncle's collection  :-D).  My uncle and erpats just loved getting my Mom's goat by spinning those disks any chance they'd get.  Ako naman, wow....this is good stuff!!!

Ryan 'ata pangalan nung bagong pianistang tinukoy ko. Napanood at narinig ko siya nung Enero 2006, sa PI Jazzfest sa Harbor Square. Masarap yung ginawa ni Ryan noon. Andon.

Ah akala ko may bagong pianista si Ryan nga yun yung kalbo>> :-) pero ngayon wala na sa pagkakaalam ko ang MAJAM. Yan lang ang alam kong makatotohanan ang tugtugan sa pagka-jazz. Sayang tiyak na matatagalan bago magkaron ng ganyan uli kaseryoso at katotoong tumugtog.  :cry:

I'm not a jazzer by any stretch but in HS and college the name of Charlie Parker would pop from time to time in my 'research' of black music. Then I found a book on improvisation in our college library. Of course, it used Parker as an example for bop.  The notes on the staff jumped out at me -- I knew immediately na iba to.  So I trooped to the music store nearest our school and bought a tape that had Charlier Parker in it: "The Greatest Jazz Concert: The Quintent Live at Massey Hall."   I got lucky for this was a good intro to the other great giants of bebop jazz: Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach. 

I was enthralled but also realized I'd never have the acute comprehension and technical skills to play this stuff on guitar.  Still, though, I enjoy bebop jazz immensely and continued to build on the collection that started from that one tape.  Aside from Bird, I particularly love Powell, Monk, Stitt, Rollins, Adderley, Evans...  Konti lang sa gtrst - kay Wes, Pass, Farlow, Django pa lang ako kinikilabutan.
